How To Get Angina Relief

By Larry Foster


Angina is a type of chest pain that is as a result of insufficient blood supply to the muscles of the heart which could be due to the occlusion of one or more coronary arteries or hypoxia of coronary blood. It is also known as ischaemic heart disease. This condition is a common presentation of coronary artery disease and it is an indicator that heart attack is by the corner.

It has been discovered to be the cause of about 37% deaths in the US every year while reports of at least 10 million cases have been recorded. This disease is so bad that it makes the sufferer feel intense pain. The problem reduces when the victim takes a bold step to meet a doctor who is a consultant in angina relief.

Angina is bound to occur when the heart does not receive sufficient blood supply to it. This is why it is common to see people with coronary artery disease affected by this. It comes with symptoms such as chest pain, back pain, nausea and pain in the left shoulder and arm. Abdominal pains also occur in females. Any effective cure should be such that can prevent blockage or narrowing of the coronary arteries.

If the blood supply or oxygen requirement of the myocardium (heart muscles) is compromised, ischemia can occur. As a result, there will be a lack of nutrients and oxygen and build up of metabolites in the tissues. The myocardium, in order to survive, switches to anaerobic metabolism. The end metabolic products and respiratory by-products, for example, hydrogen ion and carbon dioxide, vasodilates the blood vessels for the purpose of increasing blood flow. It also stimulates cardiac neuron resulting in pain, so they are said to be pain producing.

The main cause of coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis results when the lumen of the artery is occluded by cholesterol which has built up for some time. After a while, the wall of the artery gets a load of this deposition and when this occurs, the condition is called atherosclerotic plaque. The plaque can completely block the artery if nothing is done about it early enough.

A less serious type of angina is the stable type. It is one of the four different types namely stable, unstable, variant and microvascular. It is less serious because symptoms don't normally show up when adequate rest is taken. Taking drugs and feeding aright also helps to subdue its manifestation. This means that anything that can increase the heart's workload should be avoided.

Keeping off from stress and every other thing that adds more workload on your heart can greatly relieve stable ischaemic heart disease symptoms. Drugs like glycerol nitrate and some other vasodilator drugs vasodilate coronary blood vessels, makes them wider and therefore relieves pain. Talking about diet, reducing fatty foods goes a long way to helping you. Cholesterol-rich diets should be totally avoided. Variant and microvascular types have the same therapy with stable and ischemic heart disease.

The worst type of angina is the unstable form. Persons with this have higher risks of heart attack. Sometimes, resting is not even sufficient to calm the symptoms. The most effective forms of treatment for this type are angioplasty and surgery. Abstaining from fat-rich food and cigarette is ideal for its prevention.
